How can I set up the Huawei E220 vodafone USB box?

Hallo,
I have a Huawei E220 Vodafone " Internet Connect Box" This works fine for windows and OSX but I want to use it for my puppy. I found a link
http://the.taoofmac.com/space/Huawei/E220 with some info which I couldn´t work out how to use for Puppy. Has anyone used this equipment successfully on Puppy--can anyone assist ?
TIA
Martin

put the wvdial.conf from the first post on http://www.mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=21726 (well ... ok: here is the direct link: http://www.insync.za.net/3g_docs/wvdial.conf ) into /etc e.g. /etc/wvdial.conf

try to have the modem connected at the time you boot - this worked for me!

then, create a file "/etc/ppp/peers/wvdial" containing the line "defaultroute" (I don't know if this file can also be empty - just try)

do the above changes (change /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 in wvdial.conf)

then, "wvdial huewai_e220" - it worked for me! (If it doesn't: make sure the pin is deactivated - can be done using the windows software, or edit the pin in the [pin]-section of wvdial.conf and call "wvdial pin huewai_e220")
